Myths Our Schools Still Teach
John Stossel reports that Americans are taught that the Native people were stewards of the environment and movies like Pocahontas sell that message.
But he says Wilfred Reilly’s new book, Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me, debunks this and other myths about America’s history. Government guides for teachers say, “Native Americans lived in harmony with nature. They did not kill anything they could not use.”
But Reilly points out the Natives took slaves, set big forest fires to clear land and often were just as cruel as white Europeans. Stossel digs into the myths our American schools still teach.
